Fire Control Equipment
Note-Fire control assemblies, subassemblies,
and components are classified: a. In appropri-
ate classes of this group when: (1) Designed
for multiple applications to different kinds of
fire control equipment. (2) Modified for use
with guided missile remote control systems.
(3) Designed specifically for shipborne guided
missile remote control systems. (4) Radar
equipment, designed specifically for fire con-
trol systems. (5) Both day and night viewing
characteristics are incorporated into an inte-
gral unit. b. In Class
1270 or
1280, when de-
signed specifically for aircraft gunnery or air-
craft bombing fire control, respectively. c. In
Class
1430, when designed specifically for
guided missile remote control systems, except
shipboard type. d. In appropriate classes of
Group 58, when designed for multiple applica-
tions to both fire control and communication
equipment. e. In appropriate classes of Group
58 when designed for night vision.
